Mom is out in the state of Washington visiting her sister. Another sister and her husband drove up from California. They had fun attending a family reunion last weekend.

Today they are going for a drive to check out the new Narrows Bridge. The existing Tacoma Narrows Bridge was designed to carry 60,000 cars daily and now it carries approximately 90,000 a day. I guess that there were 3-4 hour traffic jams daily because of all the traffic. The new bridge was started in 2002 and was just recently completed. Both bridges are being used. One way traffic travels on each bridge.
